Amazon.com Review
Chances are excellent that you could cook out of The Mediterranean Diet Cookbook for the rest of your life and never feel the slightest tinge of boredom. How does Moroccan Carrot Salad with Orange and Lemon Juice sound? Or Catalan Soup of White Beans and Clams? Or Lebanese Fish Baked in a Tomato-Cilantro Sauce? Mediterranean cooking is refreshingly low in salt, fat, and starch, relying instead on fresh fruits, vegetables, fish, and poultry. Nancy Harmon Jenkins provides a delicious alternative for anyone who feels their basic diet needs a change, but isn't sure which way to turn. Jenkins relishes tradition and place, and the vibrant people who bring this style of cooking alive. She circles the Mediterranean, collecting the classic recipes that fall within the defined parameters of the Mediterranean diet (as recognized by the World Health Organization): "plentiful fruits, vegetables, legumes, and grains; olive oil as the principal fat; lean red meat only a few times a month; low to moderate consumption of other foods from animal sources, such as dairy products, fish and poultry; and moderate consumption of wine." Simplicity is the key to the Mediterranean diet--simple ingredients and stress-free preparation and cooking. This is more than a cookbook--it is a blueprint for healthier living. --Schuyler Ingle

I've purchased and tossed many a cookbook and this is one of my favorites among the keepers. Glad to see it's still available. Some things I like about it: simple recipes designed for home cooks ingredients easy to find plenty of vegetarian (adaptable) recipes plenty of bean recipes for vegan cooking everything I've tried so far has been very good recipes low in saturated fat Recommended for anyone who likes (or wants to try) southern European, Middle Eastern, and North African dishes.

I can hardly wait to try many if not most of receipts, I've scanned through it and decided there are many I want to try. I'd recommend this book and have already.

I was very disappointed with the book I received. It was listed as "New Condition" but when I started reading it I found at least 25 or thirty pages had been torn out. Most of these were recipes. The only thing this taught me is not to order "used" books any longer.

The contents of this book are far more interesting than they might seem in that this is not a cookbook to encourage the control of calorie intake but it offers a wide range of recipes influenced by countries of the Mediterranean which are unusual, delicious and healthy. I haven't stopped referring to it since it came in to the house!

The book appears to have simple,readily available ingredients but I purchased it as a gift for a friend so honestly have not used it myself.
